It is created by padding parts of the design or adding separate shapes to a background, and then applying needlelace or embroidered pieces to the ground fabric. This art has recently been enjoying a revival and its popularity is spreading worldwide due in part to the work of the Hirsts and their first book, Raised Embroidery.
